Nick looks at two recent discrimination cases, which show that the rules on discrimination can set unexpected challenges for employers. The third case considers whether a single employee could be an "organised grouping" under the TUPE Regulations, and so covered by the service provision change rules.

Trustees of all schemes where money purchase contributions are still being accepted should consider whether they need to take urgent steps in order to comply.
